Product description

Potholders and oven gloves are perfect canvases for showcasing fabulous fabric, using simple embellishments and trying out novel ideas - as these charming, nostalgic projects prove! They're easy, beautiful and great for anyone looking to stitch something small but wonderful. All that's needed are basic hand or machine sewing skills to complete a darling butterfly-shaped potholder with rickrack antennae. A playful oven mitt, in bright red with embroidered flames, sports the word 'caliente!' to remind the wearer to be careful. An introduction presents the vast range of textiles and embellishments available and beginners will get the low-down on batting options and guidelines for what makes a successful, functional potholder. All projects are showcased with full-colour, close-up photography and with any necessary templates and patterns.
